Dior Homme Denim (FAQ ON FIRST PAGE - read me)

[mr_smartman]

curious about this tag, it reads 7H3110530184 - 506, if any of you dior guru wouldn't mind shedding some light on how to read it and what it means that would be great thanks

[thedude]

so are the jakes the ones with the paint, or the other ones?

[the breaks]

Do these come in 27? I think it's a tad big on me. Definitely need to get them hemmed though...stacking is insane.

They look really good to me.

[TheGrapist]

do you know yet what the criteria is for button/clasp in 08? I can't seem to find a pattern from looking through the LVR pics.

All of the jeans/pants with a metal button have elastane in them.

so are the jakes the ones with the paint, or the other ones?

Under My Car has the red paint streak and is 19cm, the Jakes don't and has 17.5cm. They look almost exactly alike. I have both for under retail if anyone wants a pair.

Silver selvedge 19cms out S/S08, MIJs too.

[gonegonegone]

omg the s/s 2008 shoes are so futuristic. not as elegant as their predecessors.

[Sylvestre]

I thought that might be it... but the indigo 17.5cm have a clasp? And a number of the loose looking prewashes have buttons (presumably 21cm cut, but could just be sized up 4 17.5cm, it is lvr.)

now that the stuff is up on lvr I can see that they have fucked up worse than usual. More importantly, do you know what the 19cm karma is? And will you be getting the black silver selvage again?

[funkdoobi]

im comtemplating http://www.luisaviaroma.com/ecnew/Collections/SchedaProd.aspx?Outlet=False&CodStagione=47I&CodCollezione=06V&CodArticolo=700

im a 35 waist, but need to size up to 36-38 sometimes due to my rather large thighs/calvs. would a 36 be good enough? or would it tight as a motherfucker?

i have a pair of apc ns in 36, and they're pretty damn tight on my thighs, so i don't really wear them at all =/

[The Badgeman]

After looking at the pictures of the 19cm MIJ Brut denim on the LVR listing, it appears in that the cut is pretty much the same but I don't claim to be an expert of any kind, anyone agree or disagree with that observation? Just wondering if I ought to try to get another pair of 19cms from this season if possible or if I should wait to see if the 08 ones fit any differently.

[Egpt]

the MII are slightly bigger on the legs and the back pockets are smaller than the MIJ ones.

honestly, i love the smaller pockets on the MII

Some of the 19cm washed jeans this season have elastane in them (Under My Car for example). Maybe the 17.5cm indigos don't have buttons because they're raw.

I still have the black silver selvage on hand.

These http://www.luisaviaroma.com/ecnew/Collections/SchedaProd.aspx?Outlet=False&CodStagione=47I&CodCollezione=06V&CodArticolo=4 appear much darker than last seasons though, the smokey grey color didn't really appeal to me, but I guess it could just be the pictures. Is the cut of the silver selvage any different from the raw 19cm? I was going to order the 17.5 through you when they came in but I'd rather drop that kind of money on non-stretchy pants.

The cut is exactly the same. They're not really smokey grey, but more of a light black, if you can imagine something like that.

I really like them. I got a pair in the 21cm version and they are great. Very soft for raws. They also have a more matte finish and are sort of one shade of black if you know what i mean. I would highly recomend them.

[midnight]

And skinny boys rejoice. 4 new 17.5 cms

they have elastine. i'm not familiar with dior with stretch.

do i size down from mij size? or keep the same size?

And one more thing, how long does it take for jean to come if you order form LVR?

[sunion]

lol damn they are pre-order

[Sylvestre]

I can't find the picture you posted of them (huge thread) but I remember them not being black enough for my taste. When will the 08 version be available to you?

So can anyone once and for clarify whether or not the S/S08 jeans (raw 19cm & raw 20cm) are indeed the exact same cut as the Slimane era ones (along with clasp etc.)? Between the LVR photos and other message board posts I am by now completely confused.

[madeinkorea23]

i was looking at the 21cm brut for S/S08 and why does it look so much tighter around the ass and thigh region?

[midnight]

I just tried on a pair of the new black 17.5cm super skinny jeans (not the raws, though) and I have to say I think some people will be very pleased but some may also be dissapointed. They felt much more fitted all over, especially in the thigh. The ass also sort of drooped more then the other diors. They are cool if you are rail skinny, but i think besides that they would just look a bit odd.

brut is a french(and i think it can potentially be italian too) word for raw, untouched, etc etc.

jeans called brut by dior homme are the Made In Italy raw denim ones.

Brut in french actually means dry, natural, and untrained.

The word for raw is cru.

yes you are right, i actually corrected someone in this very same thread a few months ago for the same mistake, dunno what went through my mind when typing that.

also, i fucked up, BRUT is actually for the Made in japan raw denim, NOSTALGY is for the made in italy ones, i mixed up the terms.

[neonrider]

you know what's lame?

the fabric of these jeans is very nice, but the length just destroys the whole point.

argh kva.
